Police look into Melbourne warehouse fire

An inner-Melbourne warehouse fire is under police investigation as a nearby school closes for the day because of air quality concerns.

The fire in Southbank took more than two hours to control, with fears it might spread to neighbouring properties.

Around 50 firefighters were needed at the blaze and Victoria Police are investigating how it started.

On Thursday morning, nearby South Melbourne Primary School sent an alert to parents, advising them to keep their children at home for the day because of smoke from the fire.
